2018-10-04: Search server active for recent posts, rebuilding for older posts. DesuArchive & RBT restored after host's storage had a 2nd SAN hiccup on 9/24. No damage, but posts need import from the contingency scraper. Many thanks to our new tetrarchy of sysadmins who worked to fix this complex service after the loss of the original admin. More info later. Donations would still help in case of image storage failure and we still need a new scraper.

The server is stable, but the scraper is at its final limits due to crippling resource use and cloudflare limits, so /gif/ and /wsg/ images are paused. Let's solve this: help build a new scraper. More details here.

Ghostposting is under extreme vetting by new moderators to mitigate spam. Crackspamming or responding to any is a bannable offense.

I assume you mean in comparison to some other wars. Unless you actually think that fighting in the civil war was a walk in the park, in which case you're a fucking retard.>pacific is boring and tedious

In what fucking sense? Do you mean boring and tedious to read about? Or bording and tedious to participate in. If the first then you probably haven't read anything about it outside of a wikipedia article, if the second that's just a fucking lie. Also the casualties were low because not a lot of forces were dedicated to the battles. I dont know how you expect to devote an entire army group to a tiny island. But proportionally the casualties were heavy, marines were fighting an enemy that didn't surrender or take prisoners who had mastered defensive attritional warfare by okinawa, and had to survive in the jungle.

>>5681137>US marines tasked to take over every single fucking island in the entire Pacific>IJN doesn't even exist anymoreThere was literally no point to any of this. There was no excuse not to go straight for the Marianas to get airbases and ports right from the start and letting the garrisons of all other islands starve.

This is a retarded idea that is doomed to fail from the start because 4chan already has too much baggage to be advertiser friendly. Changing the name to 4channel and splitting up the boards isn't going to change that. You also know that /pol/ and /b/ are going to chimp the fuck out hard and invade 4channel to make it as unfriendly to advertisers as possible anyway, which is going to cause the advertisers to lean on Hiro to turn 4channel into Reddit 2.0, at which point there will be a mass exodus to infinitychan even bigger than the one after GG.

>Charles V’s empire, encompassing much of western Europe and the Americas “was the nearest the post-classical world would come to seeing a truly world-wide monarchy, and hence the closest approximation to universal imperium” since the Roman Empire.

>>5676774not all of them, the ones Vikings would have encountered first in America probably had populations supported by hunting / gathering and fishing and also did not likely have large cities

IF some vikings actually did venture further into the continent via boat and came into contact with other native peoples or even Mississippians it's possible they could have triggered some unknown or local earlier pandemicregardless, the continental-wide trading network those natives would have had may simply preclude this possibility

come to think of it, it almost seems like native north-east Amerindians were a little more resistant to Euro disease than Mesoamericans actuallyas if they or groups around them had been previously "innoculated", or their lower overall population had a protective effect

other eastern NA natives did maintain surprisingly large populations because of the abundance of natural resources in conjunction with Three Sisters / maize related agriculture / trade

>it caused such a regrowth of forests, that it literally collapsed global temperatures for decades

lol no, Mesoamerica didn't have forest regrowth to my knowledge and eastern Canada still existed back then

>>5681092It's happening so gradually that you could mistake it for the natural evolution of culture. And again, the U.S. never went on a massive campaign of burning all books in the Swedish language (to stick with the example). People deliberately missing the point over and over again.

>>5681138Being around animals particularly large mammals help develop a strong immune system. Hence why you let kids play in the dirt and shit otherwise they will develop allergies and be wlss resistance to disease.

Europe was also fithy at this time since public baths and baths were associated and blamed for the plauge. As such there was a long time we're sanitation standards were shit and it allowed people to develop immunity to a relatively diverse amount of pathogens found in the environment. Hence why diseases such as smallpox were extremely virulent to the Americas with no time to develop any medical treatment and the introduction of large mammals the large cities and towns never had a chance.

Why is it that, when it comes to colonization such as the Belgian Congo case, we're always thought about greatly exaggerated or even made up scenarios? Surely if they wanted to show how "evil" the Europeans were, they'd have something to show for it, right?https://youtube.com/watch?v=6mjGXDlSk0c

>>5677482> a landmark turning point in Belgian historystopped reading right there.You clearly know jack shit about the entire event if you think it in any way or shape was a landmark event in our history.
